Theft from canna

Anybody out there see anyone with a seven-foot sword? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-highlands-islands-44532524

This somehow seems more plausible in some ways than the theft of 6 bobble hats from Canna...the last major crime on the island as far as I know to hit the headlines. Later it turned out (after everyone had castigated the rotten so-and-sos, much the same way as they castigated the non thieves who stole our rucksacks on Tryfan) that they had just been mislaid, or so I was told. But it is far easier to stuff 6 bobble hats up your jumper and run than it is a 7 foot claymore, though a claymore has more of a collectors' market. I would try looking in the kitchen.

I recently looked through an old suitcase and found an Arab dagger I had forgotten about since Gulf War I; I scraped the rust off it and now use it as a cheese knife. Perhaps something similar has happened on Canna - have they checked the cheese platter or utensils drawer? Perhaps they over indulged in the tawny port to wash down the stilton and brie, and forgot about it?
